Landscape and Castle Park

Mühlbach Castle Park includes an English landscape garden with a pond dating from the 18th century. The castle park is also a starting point for hikes through the Gscheinzbach valley. Here, two different aspects come together: the landscaped park with its historic pond and its connection to hiking in the valley. This makes it possible to discover the municipality’s landscape not only through its vineyards and rolling hills, but also through the park and its links to hiking.

Hiking Trails in Hohenwarth

The Hohenwarth Wine Trail is 11.10 km long. The Hohenwarth circular hiking trail is well signposted. These two details address different planning questions: the Wine Trail has a specified route length, while signposting helps with navigation on the circular trail. As signs may change, it is worth checking the current route markings before setting off.

Castle and Church: Different Building Histories

Mühlbach Castle was first mentioned in 1072. It is a residential castle dating from the late Renaissance, with a medieval core. The early mention and the architectural features offer different insights into its history: the date provides a historical reference point, while the terms residential castle, late Renaissance and medieval core describe the building in more detail. St. Michael’s Church in Hohenwarth offers a different architectural perspective. It is an old fortified church dating from the 11th century, dedicated to St. Michael, and has a Romanesque core.

Literature and Prehistoric Traces

The Joseph Misson House is the birthplace of the dialect poet Joseph Misson. The original manuscript of his dialect epic “Da Naz” is also on display there. The house brings together a biographical connection and a literary work. The circular ditch structures of Mühlbach introduce a different dimension of time: they are believed to be around 7,000 years old. Together with the medieval cores of the castle and church, they span a broad history, from prehistoric structures to buildings whose history and architecture reveal different later periods.

Winegrowing and Traditional Annual Markets

Wine has been grown in Hohenwarth since the 10th century. Winegrowing is therefore one of the area’s long-standing traditions and adds a historical perspective to the landscape of rolling hills, forests and vineyards. Traditional annual markets are also part of local life: they take place on the Tuesday after Judica and on St. Elizabeth’s Day. If you would like to plan your trip around a market visit, check the specific dates for your chosen year. Hohenwarth is also home to Heurigen run by the Hagenbüchl family. Opening hours and business details may change, so check the latest information before visiting.
